swaddling

Don't you hate it when every last idiot thinks that everyone is just on pins and needles waiting to hear what they have to say. I mean every last talking head and babbling Brooke has a blog in order to let the planet know every last notion that scatters through the pinball machine of a head they have. There really is something to the sentiment of "better to say nothing and have people think you are a fool then to open your mouth and remove all doubt".
With that, welcome to my new blog! I am a licensed physical therapist in the state of Michigan and usually I think (and there by blog) about medical stuff. I also enjoy photography, driving vacations and the beautiful art that is the balance between what is God and what is man. At Harvard, there is a class that compares and contrasts the beliefs of Sigmund Freud and Clive Staples Lewis. This is a beautiful thing.
So for my first post, I will begin with what I know best, physical rehabilitation. Believe every thing you have heard about the importance of "core strength". It is what keeps you: in the game, upright and walking, functionally mobile and is key for good shoulder health. "Wait a minute" you might be thinking, "core strength is in the belly and back right?" Well, you are right. It is a bit like saying the branches of a tree depend on the strength of its trunk, if the branches have to be properly positioned in order to move correctly. Poor core strength equals poor posture and the reverse is also true. If you use your arms without good posture, you are using little muscles to do big muscle work. Have any knots in your shoulder muscles? You probably have poor core strength.
